No it's the MHRA https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/medicines-and-healthcare-products-regulatory-agency
NICE make recommendations about new treatments when they are very expensive or issue guidelines about diseases on the basis fo value for money and best treatment available the actual approval of a drug is MHRA.

Thanks, i stand corrected , i was thinking NICE had to approve the use

Dispicable human being? Seriously

Seems to be quite a widely held view amongst those who know him tbf.

According to Max Hastings, noted Tory, and Johnson's boss at the Telegraph:

Johnson would not recognise truth, whether about his private or political life, if confronted by it in an identity parade...

...the Tories, in their terror, have elevated a cavorting charlatan to the steps of Downing Street

I was Boris Johnson’s boss: he is utterly unfit to be prime minister | Max Hastings

The Tory party is about to foist a tasteless joke upon the British people. He cares for nothing but his own fame and gratification, says the former editor of the Daily Telegraph Max Hastings

yes take it to the political thread where I can’t see your utter horseshit.

Good retort there fella. Excellent. Everything is literally factual in there but of course you didn't bother replying and instead went for a flippant response. Boris would have probably done the same too! :)

If you think there's nowt wrong with all of those things, then you should take a long, hard look in the mirror at yourself. He's a bad human being who treats people with disdain, often. Proven too. If I learned these things about someone I liked, I'd be embarrassed personally and reassess my opinion of them. Each to their own hey.

Won't post anymore about him now, sorry Ric.

NICE have to approve its funding by the NHS. I would guess that process will be waived or passed by some emergency procedure in this case. Normally takes months. Medicines can be approved for use but not available on NHS.

 

[Manc in London]

According to the Standard, cases now going down in 24 London boroughs. The rolling seven-day rate in London has now fallen for a sixth day in a row, to 177.1 per 100,000 on November 21, from what looks increasingly like a second wave peak on November 15. Deaths will likely increase for a couple of more weeks. This is clearly the tail end of the days prior to the move to the previous Tier 3.

Can understand why the Govt were close to putting London in Tier 3. Like I have said before, I wish they had as the data is a bit up and down. From my own situation, Tier 2 and 3 is no different (of course, different for others such as business owners). I guess this is London's second peak. Several areas are yet to have a second peak. I would guess the second wave will come along in Jan and Feb.

So if this trend continues over the next few weeks will be interesting to see if the government put Manchester in tier 2 just prior to Xmas and London/SE goes into tier 3 at Xmas.

Haha. No chance.

cases started to come down. Grim news that many died.

True.
Whilst there's a lot we don't agree on we both share the optimism that by spring we should have broken the back of this terrible pandemic.
